Is anyone actually surprised by the fact that lying sack of piety Sarah Huckabee Sanders used a doctored video provided by Alex Jones’ InfoWars site to “justify” the stripping of CNN reporter Jim Acosta’s WH Press Credentials?
Okay, this smear by @PressSec was so awful and I like nerding out on Final Cut so much that I had go full Zapruder here. Look at the “placing his hands on a young woman” she’s referring to which is clearly the exact opposite of what she claims. cc: @Acosta pic.twitter.com/2HvJ3CgmlW

Why do we in the reality-based media act so shocked and outraged when the White House engages in such laughably false tactics? Why wouldn’t Sarah Suckabee Sanders do something like this? She’s been lying to the press corps since she oozed into the discarded skin sac left behind by Sean Spicer, the one who first demanded that we deny the evidence of our own eyes and believe the Trumpist Lie when he said the Trump Inauguration had the largest crowd evah, anywhere, of all time.
Guess what! As long as the White House Press Corps continues to compliantly lap up the fetid, feculent, viscous gravy of lies that streams from the Press Secretary podium, the flow of sewage will continue unabated.
If the Press Corps had any interest in standing for truth, they would walk out en masse and refuse to give the old, twisted, demented and dying liar in the Oval Office a platform to spew his foul. pernicious and corrosive bile into a nation that already suffers from his unabated evil.
